Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

New Age sound, is quite airy and compelling at times..

Magical lovely dark sound. Truly a great band.

The songwriting improves rapidly with succeeding releases. Thabkfully, they realized they didn't need to be so minor. 'Blind Dumb Deaf' is fine. The sound is so compact here; what they needed was somewhere to echo.
At this stage the Siouxsie & The Banshees influence is coming through too strong to be the truly unique band that they would go on to become.
The lush Cocteau Twins sound had yet to mature. This one's reedy and forgettable.

oblique and hypnotic songs which sound like simple minds on heavy drugs. the singer has a yodeling voice - in my ears it sounds unprofessional.
Their sound is unique. I quite like bands which allow the bass to have a big role.
